2. I have represented my artist through the use of mise-
en-scene and in particular costume as being a very
down to earth and normal guy. Using the costume of
either checked shirts or plain shirts in my music video
I carried forth this representation by having my artist
wear clothes that are in trend and popular at the
minute. By having my artist wear up to the minute
clothing I represented him as being down to earth as
he follows the common trend therefore connoting a
sense of normality to the audience.

4. The representation of my artist that I created in my
ancillary texts is different to that of the one that I created
in my music video. As the images I have used are black and
white it connotes a sense of two different people to my
artist as there are two different colours. Furthermore as
white is linked to a sense of purity and graciousness and
the colour black has a feel of darkness and a sense of power
to it. I wanted these two combinations to be entwined into
the representation of my artist to hint at a sense of mystic
about who my artist is. I wanted to link this to the
representation of my artists. This whole idea of black and
white also connotes a sense of two different people and the
representation that to be able to know one side of my artist
you have to know the other.

6. I purposely created a different representation from my
music video through to my ancillary texts, as I wanted
to show that my artist has many different sides to him.
Hence why I have represented him as being a down to
earth, naive young Romeo in my music video but when
it came to my ancillary texts I have represented him as
a more vivid and powerful character. In my music
video I have portrayed my artist as being a more
submissive whereas in my ancillary texts I have
represented my artist as a more dominating character.
7. However I have carried through some of the same
representations of my artist through from my music
videos to my ancillary texts. In both I have represented
my artist as being romantic, in my ancillary texts I
created this effect by having a black and white affect
which can be associated with old black and white
movies which were mostly in the romantic genre.
8. In my actual music video I created this affect by having
my artist play the guitar, which is typically associated
with a romantic gesture towards a girl. From the use of
the colour fonts in my ancillary I carried forth the
representation of romance as I used a handwritten
font, which can be linked to writing a romantic letter
(love letter) which builds on the representation of my
artist being romantic.
